Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL

Chennai Super Kings will look to get closer to the top spot when they welcome a stuttering Sunrisers Hyderabad side to Chennai. This IPL 2023 match #29 will be played at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai on Friday, April 21 from 7:30pm IST onwards.

Chennai Super Kings have picked up pace after a slow start although they lost their previous match at this venue. That takes nothing away from the fact that Chepauk has been a fortress for them over the years. I am backing the Super Kings to continue their love affair and pick up a win over the Sunrisers.

Head to Head

There is a distinct yellow tinge to this Southern India derby as Chennai Super Kings have won 14 and lost just five against Sunrisers Hyderabad. That includes four wins from their last five matches and winning all three at this venue.

Last season H2Hs saw these teams share the honours with Sunrisers Hyderabad winning by eight wickets before Chennai returning the favour with a 13-run victory.

Chennai Super Kings Form

Chennai Super Kings are 3rd in the standings with six points after five matches were played by each team. They have won three of their last four matches after starting the season with a loss.

Ruturaj Gaikwad (200) and Devon Conway (181) have been the batting leaders for Chennai giving them great starts at the top. With the ball, Tushar Deshpande (10) has been a surprise leader.

The home conditions suit Chennai perfectly, although they would be looking for better contributions from the middle-order.

Ben Stokes is expected to be back available for the Super Kings after missing for a few weeks.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

Only the Delhi Capitals were below Sunrisers Hyderabad after five matches, but their four points from five matches are the same as two others. They are also coming off a loss, a 14-run defeat to Mumbai Indians.

Batting has been a real concern for the Sunrisers with no real leader. Aiden Markram (109 runs) looked consistent while the likes of Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal sparkled occasionally. Even with the ball, only Mayank Markande (six wickets, ER 6.41) was consistent.

The absence of Umran Malik’s fiery pace has been the undoing of Sunrisers’ bowling while their batting looks undercooked as they look over-reliant on Markram and Brook.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

A struggling batting unit needs a revamp but it remains to be seen if Hyderabad decide to try out a rookie like Vivrant Sharma.
